It wants to test, in the harshest real-world conditions they can find, a new line of 2400bps modems, which, they hope to claim, can handle bad connections better than the competition. Sites chosen for testing may get a free modem. If your phone lines are really bad, find a better one and call (408) 733-7800." Surely someone(s) on the net should be able to qualify. .
